The Paradigm Shift
From
The Industrial Age
To
The Information Age
To
The Creativity Age
These changes,
among others, are ushering us
toward
a world
where knowledge, power, and
productive capability will be
more dispersed than at any time in
our history— a world
where value creation will be fast, fluid,
and
The Implication
……..The World of Technology
A Fast Changing World…
……..changing so fast
That the replication of more of
the same knowledge and skills of the
other days will not suffice to address
the challenges of today, not to talk of
the future…
Imagine….
A generation ago, teachers could expect that what they
taught would last their students a
lifetime.
…WORLD OF GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Employers/Parents expect graduates to be:
• Creative and Job ready
• Ready to thrive in the Digital
Age
o Cope with the challenges of
the 21st century
o Think critically,
o Solve problems
Rapid
economic and social changes
demand of NITDA to prepare the
citizenry
for jobs that are yet to be created,
technologies that have not yet
been invented
and problems that we don't yet
know will arise.
Reality of Time
• Increasingly diverse customer base
• Increasing complexity of business
structures and organizations
• Expanding mobile customers and
increasing electronic communication
• Increasing economic importance of
digital commerce and digital content
Resultant Changes in Business Environment
The impact or response to these trends is
either
For the most part - "technology
focused"
Precipitated or facilitated by technology
or
Required of skills that are
predominantly and significantly
technology related.
Understanding the Trend…
Fluency
o Attained when an act is accomplished with no
noticeable cognitive or mental effort.
o Having a mastery of certain skills to the point of
not requiring conscious attention.
Digital fluency
o An evolving aptitude that empowers the individual
to
effectively and ethically interpret information,
discover meaning, design content, construct
knowledge,
and communicate ideas in a digitally connected
world.

Microsoft Certified Educator
The Microsoft Certified Educator (MCE) exam is a competency-
based professional development and certification offering.
Technology-neutral, the MCE assessment enables educators to
demonstrate competency as outlined in the United Nations
Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization Information and
Communications Technology, Competency Framework for
Teachers (UNESCO ICT-CFT), Technology Literacy Approach. It also
offers an opportunity for educators to differentiate themselves in
the education field, and enhance their value for current and future
employers.
Measuring effectiveness
An effective and proven assessment tool, the MCE exam measures
the ways ICT integration can be used to improve outcomes in six
core content areas which align to the UNESCO ICT-CFT:
• Education policy
• Curriculum and assessment
• Pedagogy
• ICT/technology tools
• Organization and administration
• Professional development
Passing the MCE exam provides validation that educators have
achieved global educator technology literacy competencies as
defined in the UNESCO ICT-CFT, Technology Literacy Approach.
Improving outcomes
For education administrators, MCE represents a valid and
reliable way to measure the effectiveness of their investment
in ICT and professional development. Educators holding an
MCE certification have the tools and skillsets to break though
limitations of geography and resources, and begin to apply
their knowledge to provide a rich, customized learning
experience for their students.
Get started
Integrating
the MCE certification
into teacher training program or
